This week, the development activity of Symfony slowed significantly due to the start of the Summer season in the northern hemisphere. This low activity period is the perfect moment to help the Symfony project by working on some pending issues, such as bugs, new features, and enhancements.

This week, after the successful launch of Symfony 2.3, the development activity focused on the upcoming Symfony 2.4 version. The most important change was the introduction of simpler customization options for the Security component. In addition, Symfony 2.3.1 was released to address some minor bugs.
